Closure of the Venezuelan embassy in Lima: a change in hope for migrants
The shocking closure of the Venezuelan embassy in Lima
The closure of the Venezuelan embassy in Lima has alarming effects on the more than 1.5 million Venezuelan migrants who live in Peru. This decision, which is due to the break of diplomatic relationships between Peru and Venezuela under the leadership of Nicolás Maduro, has led to great resentment and confusion among the citizens concerned.
effects on the Venezuelan community
The closure has devastating consequences for many Venezuelans who rely on consular services. People who rely on the exhibition or renewal of passenger passes are particularly affected in order to secure a legal stay in Peru. On Monday, July 29th, long queues were formed in front of the message, but the hope of dealing with the applications was quickly shattered when the message had to temporarily hire its services.
reactions of the Peruvian government
The Peruvian government has declared that it is working with friendly countries to protect Peru and that of its citizens in Venezuela. Foreign Minister Javier González Olaechea expressed concerns about the possibility of a new migration current from Venezuela, especially in view of the tightened entry requirements for Venezolans in Peru. He explained that not all migrants should be disadvantaged and a differentiated approach is being followed to help the needy.
The emergency of the Venezolans in Peru
The closure of the message not only has practical, but also emotional effects. Citizens reported dramatic cases, such as a young woman who, due to the lack of documents, cannot collect the body of their late partner from the corpse hall. Such stories illustrate the despair of many who are not only looking for security in Peru, but also for a dignified life.
international reactions and calls for support
In the middle of this crisis, Venezuelan citizens have also requested international support. A leading representative of the NGO Ciudadanos Venezolanos Independientes Y Libres (CI.V.I.L) brought the prospect of military help to stabilize Venezuela. This requirement shows the desperate situation of the citizens who ask for change in their homeland.conclusion
The current situation for Venezuelans in Peru is tense and is characterized by uncertainty. While the Peruvian government is trying to protect the interests of its citizens, migrants are fighting to regulate their legal matters and start a new life. The closure of the message has triggered a humanitarian crisis that should be considered at an international level.
